Thesis 22: The Lord Is Not Weak - The True Alpha Male

This is Thesis 22 of the “End Times 95 Theses by The Two Witnesses of Revelation", a parallel of the work Martin Luther did hundreds of years ago. This thesis (Thesis 22) will explore the false notion that our Lord Jesus Christ is weak, hyper-feminine, or endlessly merciful. He came not to bring peace but a sword (Matthew 10:34). My previous theses for reference are at the bottom of this article to save room.

The Most Misquoted Scripture

The instruction to "turn the other cheek" by Jesus Christ in Matthew 5:39 is one of the most misinterpreted Scriptures, often depicting Jesus (and His followers) as weak or tolerating anything. According to J.C. Howard:

"In the first-century Mediterranean world, social life operated through a rigid honor-shame system. Public gestures communicated status, power, and humiliation. Anthropologists and historians have documented how insults were often performed symbolically through gestures rather than purely physical violence (Malina & Rohrbaugh, 2003).

Because most people were right-handed, striking someone on the right cheek would normally require a backhanded slap. In that society, a backhanded slap carried a specific meaning: it was an insult used by someone of higher status against someone considered socially inferior—such as a master toward a servant or a Roman officer toward a subject.

Biblical scholar Walter Wink argues that this detail transforms the entire meaning of the passage. The gesture was not primarily about causing injury; it was about public humiliation and status enforcement (Wink, 1998). The act communicated, “Know your place.”

If this cultural framework is correct, then the statement about turning the other cheek was not simply an invitation to endure violence. It addressed the ritual of humiliation itself.... Within that honor-shame culture, the response of turning the other cheek created a social disruption. The aggressor could not easily repeat the same insult. The symbolic hierarchy—master above servant—became unstable in that moment."

It is not that "turn the other cheek" does not ever mean to "let things go" as needed with enemies; rather, the Bible is layered, complex, and many verses have multiple meanings. Yes, generally speaking, as Christians, we are to forgive, forget, and move on.

However, many "cherry-pick" verses, such as Matthew 5:39, studying them out of historical and cultural context, trying to transform Jesus Christ as a weak victim who tolerates endless abuse.That is not the case. Let's see what Scripture really says about the strength of Jesus.

Jesus: The Lion

Here are some parts of Scripture one will seldom hear at church:

Luke 14:25 - "“If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple." - Jesus literally tells you to hate your family to follow Him. People try to sugarcoat this one, make it seem easier or lighter, or twist it. I say this, I had to hate my own family to follow Jesus Christ, and I had to give them up. It's harsh, it's not what people want to hear, and I consider it holy brutality. It is the cost of following Him. Is it true in all circumstances? No. Is it true in the end times? Likely. We cannot be unequally yoked to unbelievers.
Matthew 10:34 - "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." - This directly goes against Jesus Christ as constant agent of peace. There is a time for the sword, especially in the end times. Does Jesus Christ ultimately promote peace? Absolutely, but that does not mean He never promotes the sword.
Luke 9:60 - " Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” - Can you image Jesus saying this to someone who just lost their mom or dad in the endlessly-offended modern age? They would call Him evil, unloving, and cruel. However, Jesus is absolutely correct. Christians, especially now, spend their time "idolizing" death culture, those who are spiritually dead, and those who cannot be saved. It is time we let the dead bury the dead in the end times and stop focusing on lost hope.

Moreover, some forget Jesus Christ is one with the Father, and the Old Testament is NOT obsolete. Yes, the Old Law has been fulfilled, but that does not mean all of the Old Testament is meaningless or not to be used in the New Law. It means we are no longer under the law of sacrifice/works but of love, and there are principles of the Old Testament still applicable in love. Do we need to butcher some sheep to please God? No. Can we still fight in the way God did in the Old Testament in the Law of Love? Absolutely. I wrote an entire book on Isaiah and how it is tied to Revelation and Daughter Zion, which you can read here. Let's just say there is a holy brutality in it, and it is justified. Here is some holy brutality in Isaiah:

The Most Graphic and Brutal Verses in Isaiah

Isaiah 13:16: "Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated." This verse describes the impending fall and total destruction of Babylon by the Medes, illustrating the extreme cruelty of ancient warfare.
Isaiah 34:3: "Their slain shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood." A cosmic depiction of apocalyptic judgment against rebellious nations where the landscape itself is overwhelmed by casualties. [1]
Isaiah 49:26: "I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine." God uses shocking, cannibalistic imagery to describe the self-destructive chaos that will consume Israel's enemies.
Isaiah 63:3: "I trampled them in my anger and trod them down in my wrath; their blood spattered my garments, and I stained all my clothing." This presents the Lord as a lone warrior treading a winepress, but instead of grapes, He is crushing rebellious nations in judgment.
Isaiah 66:24: "And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that consumes them will not be quenched..." The final verse of the book leaves readers with a haunting, grim image of the corpses of the wicked, a passage that Jesus later quoted when describing hell.

Many use the above verse to criticize God. I do not. Babylon deserved it. Justice needs to happen sometimes. When people are evil, their children suffer - they are responsible for their children. Yes, you reading, you are responsible for your children, and so am I. When people are sinful, they become dead like carcasses. When people oppress unjustly, it comes back on them. When people, come against God, He comes against them. When people choose to follow a lie instead of God, they go to hell.

Everyone wants a God to give justice, but when He truly gives justice, they critique Him for it. All reading must understand this, it is impossible to have justice without brutality. It is impossible to have love without discipline. It is impossible to have endless mercy and have righteousness co-exist. When people become evil, there are consequences. For example, to be fair, I was a former alcoholic, drinking myself to death daily. I did have consequences, and I deserved every one of them. I was not taking care of my family. I was not doing what God called me to do, and He righteously disciplined me. It was truly brutal, but it was holy, and I thank Him for it.

This does not mean God does not mercy. He is looking for repentance, and yes, one of themes of Isaiah and Revelation is repentance, but very few repent. Besides, you all go to mercy-filled churches all day - surely, you have heard of His mercy!

The Lion and Lamb Paradox

I am not saying God is only justice. This is what is hard for the world and readers to understand. He is paradoxical, both the lion and the lamb, where children come to Him in flocks because they love Him, and enemies scatter because they know His power.

You all want a weak God. You want God that says your sin is okay.

I don't. I want justice. I want the Lion and the Lamb, and I am calling Him back today. Together, we opened the 4th seal of Revelation today. Yes, we did. Death is coming, first on my enemies, but others later. It is just. Of course, still, God will have mercy on whom He has mercy (Romans 9:15), and yes, He is looking for repentance. However, this will come after suffering, which is justified, for I am a holy and righteous witness.

You can take your weak fake Jesus who never disciplines. That's just Satan in disguise and Aleister Crowley's, "Do what thou wilt" philosophy, ultimately leading you to hell.

So, then, it is a narrow path (Matthew 7:13-14), a narrow understanding, and very few find it. For those who do, come back because suffering will grow, but that is not because God doesn't love you. It's because He does love you, but He needs you refined and cleansed to be with Him. The Bible says, "Be holy, like me (1 Peter 1:16)."

Repent Babylon. The time is at hand.

With truth, justice, and the the true love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

Elizabeth (Daughter Zion - the real one)
